That\u2019s why I always recommend it regardless of whether you\u2019re grilling, baking, or making fried catfish in the air fryer.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-temperature-should-i-cook-catfish-in-an-air-fryer\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Temperature Should I Cook Catfish in an Air Fryer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For this recipe, I recommend cooking the catfish at 400 degrees F.

If this is not possible, it can still be done while frozen, just soak it for an hour in room temperature milk, which will also help thaw it. If you do this, follow the directions as written.<\/li>\n<li>If skipping the milk soak, skip directly to steps 2 and 3.<\/li>\n<li>Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
